We spent some time enjoying the winter delicacy of crab at a lakeside inn. It's a Showa-era restaurant inn. As it's directly managed by a seafood wholesaler, you can enjoy crab at a relatively reasonable price. 🏡 Lakeside Kotohiki 📍 912 Obama, Amino-cho, Kyotango City, Kyoto Prefecture 🚗 Approximately 10 minutes by car from Amino Station on the Kyotango Railway 💲 2-person room occupancy from 24,800 yen per person (varies depending on plan) 🕒 Check-in 3:00 PM, check-out 10:00 AM 📌 Sightseeing around the hotel • Kotohiki Beach (approximately 15-minute walk) • Kotohiki Beach Singing Sand Cultural Center (approximately 5 minutes by car) • Tango Kingdom "Food Kingdom" (approximately 10 minutes by car) #CrabTrip #AllCrabs #Kyoto #SeaofJapan #TangoTrip #Kyotango #KotohikiBeach #HotSprings #DomesticTrip #Seafood #WinterTrip #Gourmet #Tourism #LakesideKotohiki #JapanTrip

#japantrip The beach here has a very beautiful sunset view. Sitting down, drinking beer, drinking some grilled squid and watching the sun go down is truly a wonderful way to enjoy life. The parking lot is about a 4-minute walk from this beach. If you want to go swimming here, you should bring a stroller. Or you should not bring a lot of things. Beautiful sandy beach, great for long walks with pets around sunset. No western toilets to be found along the beach.

Kyoto in January 𓂃 ✍︎______________________________________📍Yusai Resort Hibiki A small hot spring inn located along the beach of Yuhigaura, with 7 rooms, all with an open-air bath Yuhigaura Beach is famous for its beautiful sunsets, and even in winter there are surfers Watching the surfers while taking a bath is a good way to enjoy yourself◎ Once your body is warmed up, taking a walk along the beach is also a good way to enjoy yourself◎ This time I stayed in a room on the second floor (Sora)🔑 The room was not particularly large, but it was a relaxing space◎The open-air bath was soothing with the scent of cypress and the background music of the waves◎ We had dinner at the restaurant on the first floor.

#Hot springs #Crab In November, crab season is over at Kizu Onsen in Amino, Tango Peninsula. At Kaikatei in Amino, Tango Peninsula, you can enjoy a full crab course. The a la carte menu starts with a sashimi platter, followed by grilled and boiled crab. The origins of Japanese cuisine are all focused on the crab!

"House in the Forest: Anno Kogakan" 764 Tani, Kumihama-cho, Kyotango-shi, Kyoto 629-3559 0772-84-9901 https://goo.gl/maps/br1TpPiTpmXqeEph9 Official website mori.wakuden.kyoto This museum is located about 30-40 minutes by car from Kinosaki Onsen town, and is surrounded by nature and has a relaxing atmosphere. There is no public transportation nearby, so it is inconvenient to get there, but the museum is very quiet and you can spend some time relaxing on the well-maintained lawn, and there is also a museum where you can see Anno's watercolor paintings (he is an artist who mainly draws picture books, etc.) (I think it was because it cost 1,000 yen). The museum was also built by Tadao Ando, ​​and the architectural design is very eye-catching, so you can take great photos. Next to the museum, there is a shop where you can buy meals and souvenirs. You can enjoy a relaxing atmosphere by eating inside the restaurant or sitting on the terrace and enjoying the nature. I ate inside the restaurant, and they are particular about each and every ingredient. The rice was cooked in a traditional Japanese stove, and the accompanying vegetables were all fresh and delicious. The facility itself is free, so even if you don't eat at the museum or restaurant, I highly recommend stopping by by car on your way back from Kinosaki Onsen! ^^ #couplestrip #solotrip #gourmet #museum

"Heshiko Kobo" in Kyotango City, Kyoto Prefecture 🐟 Heshiko is a traditional Tango dish made by salting blue fish and then pickling it in rice bran. It was once a valuable preserved food to survive the winter. You can enjoy it in many ways, such as making it into ochazuke, adding it to pasta, or grilling it as is.♪♪ Heshiko is sold in many stores, but the reason we recommend this one is because it's not too spicy! Some of the ones sold at supermarkets are salted and pickled in rice bran, so they're too salty and not tasty... Be sure to try Heshiko Kobo's heshiko 😚 #Kyoto #Tango #Northern Kyoto #Gourmet #Souvenir #Gourmet Trip

#JanuaryDestinations2026 The sand at Obamama Beach is essentially the same as that of the famous Kotohiki Beach next door, containing a high amount of quartz. When you walk barefoot on the sand and rub your feet together vigorously, you'll hear a "chirping" sound, known as "singing sand." This isn't magic; it's a manifestation of the "coefficient of friction." Only when the sand is extremely clean, free of fine debris or oil, will the friction between the quartz crystals produce vibrations and sound. In other words, this sound is an "audio sensor" of environmental cleanliness. Every step you take here is a "cleanliness test" of this beach. 📸 Photography Tips: 1. Macro Sand Grains: Grab a handful of sand and take close-up photos, looking for translucent quartz particles. 2. Footprint Depth: Photograph the deep footprints left in dry sand areas; these are physical evidence of the sound. 📍 Attraction Information: • Parking Fee: Approximately NT$220 (1000 yen) in summer.

#JanuaryDestinations2026 Don't doubt your eyes, this isn't Okinawa, this is the Sea of ​​Japan. Kyokuma Beach dares to call itself "Crystal" because its seawater transparency reaches optical standards. Due to the barrier of the Tango Peninsula and Cape Echizen, coupled with the unique granite geology, very little silt enters the sea. The result is an incredible turquoise color in the water. Standing in waist-deep water, you can still clearly see the lines of your toenails. This isn't for playing in the water; it's for experiencing the physical sensation of being surrounded by "pure matter." Wearing polarized sunglasses, after eliminating the reflections from the sea surface, you'll see the seabed ripples as clearly as contour lines. 📸 Photography Tips: 1. Half-submersion photography: If you have a waterproof camera, try taking a photo that's half above and half below the water to show evidence that the air and seawater are equally transparent. 2. Direct Sunlight at Noon: Shooting at midday when the sun is directly overhead results in the most saturated and vibrant blue color of the sea. 📍 Attraction Information: • Parking Fee: Approximately NT$220 - 330 (1000 - 1500 yen) in summer.

We stayed at Hotel HEKISUIEN! From the moment we arrived, the air was so clean and tranquility pervaded the air. From our room, we could see the lake and the golf course across the street, and the sunsets were truly magical. There is also a cafe on site, where you can enjoy coffee time by the elegant hearth or at one of the outdoor tables. For dinner, we had the luxurious crab sukiyaki kaiseki plan, which we enjoyed at the neighboring Hekisui Gyoen Garden. There were two large crabs per person, and we enjoyed a luxurious crab sukiyaki, sashimi, and rice porridge at the end. We struggled with the crab, but it was a wonderful experience! There was a bath in our room, but we enjoyed the open-air bath. The open-air bath, which was designed to connect to the lake outside, was amazing and very relaxing. Highly recommended for a quiet, relaxing trip! ⚫︎Hotel: HEKISUIEN ⚫︎Address: 1432 Minatomiya, Kumihama-cho, Kyotango City, Kyoto Prefecture, 629-3422 ⚫︎Parking available (free) #Kyotango #KyotoTrip #DomesticTrip #HotSprings

I visited Tango in winter. When I entered the hotel, the staff welcomed me kindly at the entrance. I was given lemongrass herbal tea as a welcome drink, which was very fragrant and delicious. The room was very spacious and came with an in-room bath. They served tea, coffee, and sweets, so you could enjoy them wherever you liked. There was a hot spring in the annex, and the open-air bath was amazing. For dinner, I had the crab course. All of the dishes, made with organic vegetables, were delicious and lovely. I was able to watch the pizza being baked in the oven up close, and the full course meal, including dessert, was very satisfying. The breakfast was also very luxurious, and the food was not only delicious but also beautiful to look at. The service was also excellent, so it was a hotel I'd like to return to! I'm sure it would be a great experience for couples and families! ⚫︎Hotel: HOTEL & Lakeside Souka -Souka- ⚫︎Address: 915-15 Obama, Amino-cho, Kyotango City, Kyoto Prefecture ⚫︎Tel: 0772-72-1009 #DomesticTravel #HotSprings #AccommodationReview #KyotoTrip #Kyotango
